this loss to saudi arabia was even more upsetting than the big loss to japan last time. those fans in the rain in dalian looked so pitiful. their helplessness, confusion and despair were heartbreaking to see.chinese football, are you worthy of such a good fan?

did you see the look in this little fan's eyes? those black sheep who hinder the development of chinese football, don't you feel heartbroken? you torture us fans over and over again for decades, are you still human?

at the beginning of this game, we were quite happy. we were leading by one goal and had one more player. we thought we could turn the tables and win this time. but it turned out to be a familiar scenario. we were tied first, and then we lost in injury time. we should have passed with 60 points, but we couldn't get 59 points no matter how hard we tried. the chinese team's losing pattern has remained the same for decades, and it is terrifyingly stable.

although the chinese team played with one more player, it seemed that the saudi team played with one more player in many cases. chinese players rarely passed the ball to each other more than three times. there was no one-on-one breakthrough, no small-scale exquisite cooperation, and no long pass transfer using the width of the field. those who had the ball didn't know who to pass it to, and those who didn't have the ball didn't know how to run. it's hard to imagine that they have played football for more than ten or twenty years. but we can't blame them. these people in the national football team are already the tallest among the short ones. the number of football players is so small, and the selection range is so large. even gods can't organize a high-level national team.

after losing this game, the chinese national football team, which lost two games in a row, did not get a single point and ranked last in the group. in the next game against australia, the chinese national football team is likely to lose again. even indonesia, which seems to be the weakest team in the group, is likely to lose to them judging from their performance in this round, which tied with australia.

unless there is a miracle, this chinese national football team has no hope from now on.

the chinese national football team has poor performance, so they should be criticized, but they cannot bear the biggest blame. if we want to find the culprit for the lack of improvement of chinese football over the years, the first one to be criticized is the chinese football association. but it seems that it is not safe to criticize the football association now, so we can only criticize it to a certain extent, and keep those deep words in your heart and mine.

there is no doubt that the current level of the head coach of the chinese national football team is extremely poor. ivankovic, who turned 70 this year, had the biggest highlight of his coaching career when he led the iranian team to the world cup in 2006 and won the chinese super league championship with shandong luneng in 2010. but whether it was iran or luneng, with the strength of their players at the time, it was not difficult to enter the world cup or win the league. judging from the results of his few games with the chinese national football team, this person's level is indeed extremely limited. the old man coached the chinese national football team in 6 games with only 1 win, 3 consecutive defeats in the world cup qualifiers, and a goal difference of 1 to 10. the only goal was an own goal by the opponent. he could not solve the problems of offense or defense. the midfield organization was a mess, and the selection and substitution of players were repeatedly questioned.

ivan’s level is admittedly low, but the second most searched topic on weibo is “ivan is mainly responsible for the chinese national football team’s loss.” i laughed when i saw this, the pace is pretty good.now, shouldn’t the most important question be how such a fake coach could become the head coach of the chinese national football team? who made the decision? football association, you have lost all your face!

replace the old man quickly, so that the next few games of the national football team can at least be watched. if it is too late, it is hard to say whether the fans' emotions will spill over into areas other than football. even from the perspective of maintaining stability, football must be taken care of.

football is not like other industries. some industries can choose not to participate in world competitions, or even if they participate, even if they rank low, because it will not be broadcast live nationwide, not many people will know about it, and the negative impact will not be great. football is different. it is forced to participate in world competitions. once the results are not good, everyone in the country will know about it, which is very stressful. there are at least hundreds of millions of football fans in china. if football becomes an outlet for negative emotions in the future, the impact on society will be very great. cctv did not broadcast live these two times, and this may be due to considerations in this regard.

it is hard to understand why china wants its men's football team to enter the world cup, but allows a freak like the chinese football association to exist. this is exactly the same as the westernization movement in the late qing dynasty.

china's football reform was basically carried out in parallel with japan. japan's football modernization reform began in 1993, when the j league was founded. china launched the a-league in 1994 and officially entered the professional stage. the two countries entered the professional stage at the same time, but 30 years later, the development levels of football in the two countries are very different.

how does japan develop football?

the establishment of a professional league system is only part of it, and not even the most important part. japan has a complete youth football development system that covers cooperation between schools and clubs. elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and universities all have football teams. schools cooperate with professional clubs, and players are trained in both schools and clubs. in 1917, japan had a national college football league for high school students, and it has been held for 102 sessions so far.

japan also attaches great importance to the training of local coaches. most grassroots coaches receive professional training to ensure that children receive high-quality football education from an early age. in china, although there is also a youth training system, there are obvious institutional problems. china's youth training is too dependent on football schools or private institutions, and there is less cooperation between schools and clubs. young people lack continuous support and systematic training in their growth process.

as early as 2005, japan proposed the "centennial vision" (centennial concept), with the goal of becoming one of the world's top football countries by 2050, and set up a detailed development plan for this goal. japan's reforms have strong continuity, stable investment, consistent policies, and no rush for quick success.judging from japan's development in recent years, it is very likely that the japanese will win the world cup even before 2050.

the japanese government and the football association have worked closely together to provide policy support and financial investment in football infrastructure construction, coach training, competition organization, etc. although china's football reform has also had bright spots in recent years, especially before the epidemic, it still lacks continuity in planning and long-term goals. many policies were replaced or modified shortly after their implementation, lacking systematicity.

japan also attaches great importance to the balance between sports and studies, and many outstanding professional players have received formal academic education. this model not only ensures that players have broad development opportunities, but also makes parents more willing to support their children in pursuing a career in football.for example, kaoru mitoma, who is currently playing in the premier league, became a professional player after graduating from university. his university graduation thesis was about dribbling and passing, although he later said that this thesis was just for graduation. but it is obvious that kaoru mitoma, who is now famous for passing, learned a lot during his university years.

in china, parents are often under pressure to make their children choose between academics and sports, which leads many talented players to give up football. many chinese children are actually good at playing football in elementary school, but once they enter junior high school, they can no longer play football. as fewer and fewer children play football, the selection range is naturally getting smaller and smaller, and finally the level of the national team is getting worse and worse.

i used to play against the japanese team in guangzhou. although these japanese were just employees of some foreign agencies, their discipline and team spirit, which was exactly the same as that of the japanese national team, left a deep impression on us. they usually arrived about half an hour in advance, and then, under the leadership of the team leader, they warmed up in an orderly and serious manner. on the other hand, we were lazy and procrastinated, unorganized and undisciplined, and we lost to the japanese in terms of spirit. on the field, the mutual cooperation and solidarity between the japanese players often made us unable to even touch the ball.through these amateur players, we can see that the japanese have something in common, which is brought to them by japanese education and cultural values.

in addition, japan has made football a national sport through school education, professional leagues and community activities. children have been exposed to football in schools, streets and clubs since childhood. the popularity of football is high and the community football atmosphere is strong. many japanese football stars who play in europe have become national idols, from the early hidetoshi nakata to keisuke honda and shinji kagawa, and now to kaoru mitoma and wataru endo. these football idols have further inspired young japanese people to participate in football.

japanese people are serious and professional.

but we should not underestimate ourselves. in the past 30 years, has china fallen behind japan in other fields besides football? in areas where private economy and private forces can thrive, china is no worse than japan. tencent, alibaba, huawei, dji, tiktok, xiaomi... these world-class brands have all grown and developed in the past 30 years. as long as we provide a relaxed and free environment, as long as the chinese dare to think and act, the descendants of china are no worse than anyone else.

if we treat chinese football the same way we treated the private economy, would we still lose to japan 0:7 today? if we return chinese football to the private sector and let the market take over, would chinese fans still be abused every other day?

everything is obvious. we should not only learn the technology of europe and america, but also learn their system. only by following the rules of football and playing football like the japanese for decades, will chinese football have hope.

before this miracle can be realized, the system must be thoroughly reformed. the most important first step in reforming the system is to substantially reform or even dissolve the chinese football association, which is a charlatan, and hand over the leading power to the market and the people.

ivan, who led the chinese national football team to 1 win in 6 games and 3 consecutive defeats in the world cup qualifiers, is no longer suitable for the position of head coach of the national football team. similarly, in the past 30 years of professionalization, the chinese men's football team has only entered the world cup once (that world cup was because japan and south korea were the hosts and did not participate in the qualifiers). in that world cup, they did not score a single goal and conceded 9 goals. the chinese football association, which has made chinese football lose face in the world, has become the main stumbling block on the road to the development of chinese football. if we do not remove this bureaucratic organization that often produces corrupt elements, chinese football will never have a bright future.

i won’t say any more, that’s all.
